Hello ,

I hope you are "weathering" the extreme weather conditions that have been occurring in so many different places! Here in Wisconsin, we have gone from extreme heat without rain to storms and lots of rain. We have had tree damage which was not so good; but on the bright side - our garden is flourishing! 

My husband, Joe harvested our first batch of green beans, today - 4-1/2 lbs. and there are still a lot more on the vines!!! Last week, I caught him coming in from the garden with a pocket full of...jalapeno peppers (lol)! He said, "my grandfather would have had a pocket full of cigars"...oh how times have changed!

Okay, now onto the Stamping News...

TODAY IS THE LAST CHANCE

Ordering deadline for this Kit is August 10th
